 the end? 19 of 20 people found this review helpful.
The third, and possibly final, season of HBO's critically acclaimed Deadwood had it's share of slow moving moments to be sure, but the series as a whole lived up to the excellent precedent set by the previous two seasons of the show. As the third season opens, sheriff Seth Bullock (Timothy Olyphant) makes a run for re-election, which gets side tracked by forging an uneasy alliance with Al Swearengen (Ian McShane) against the vendictive George Hearst (Gerald McRaney) who comes to the camp with some deadly plans for everyone involved. The lives of newly weds Alma Garret (Molly Parker) and Whitney Ellsworth (Jim Beaver), as well as Sol (John Hawkes) and Trixie (Paula Malcomson) are in jeopardy as Hearst prepares to wreak bloody havoc, which is mainly what this season of the series is focused on. Also during this season, we witness the recovery of Cy (Powers Boothe), as well as bonding between Calamity Jane (Robin Weigert) and Joanie (Kim Dickens), and the debilitating health of Doc Cochran (Brad Dourif). If you've been a fan of the show for some time, you know what to expect with Deadwood in terms of it's vulgarity and violence, so if you're new to the show, you won't really be won over by anything here. That being said, the third season of Deadwood is some truly great TV regardless, and the ensemble cast as usual is superb; with Olyphant, McShane, and McRaney being the best of the bunch. As the previous reviewer stated, if this is indeed the final season of the show with no other kind of resolution, there isn't any real cliffhanger that leaves the viewer cursing at the screen (a la Carnivale). That being said, hopefully this isn't the last hurrah for Deadwood, and there will be another chapter before these characters ride off into the sunset

Deadwood is awesome but I never received this dvd set. I sent my money order and the next day, this auction completely disappeared from my ebay summary with no explination from ebay, no contact from the seller. Luckly I had copied down the item number before hand (just a habit) and when I typed it into the search box, I got the response that it was incorrect. All of a sudden that auction never existed and my money was gone. So, who is liable for an auction that never existed? And now. a few months after the fact, I get asked to write a review for an auction that never happened according to ebay, that I happened to get ripped off on, WTF? This is insane.... I did not bother to file with Ebay because of the nifty scam about being a purchase under twenty five dollars, so once again, I'm just one of those little people out here who got screwed by a now "no longer registered seller" and you "eBay" who does nothing to protect your best customers. Shame on you! Shame on you All! Do you not make enough money off of us to actually do something about these sellers? You do collect financial informail about them when they agree to become sellers, why can we not get our money back when the seller has clearly defrauded their customers? Why do you delete an auction with no notice and act like it never existed? You let these people walk away everyday! Paypal (also owned by eBay) lets the same thin happen as well, at their discretion they decide what will be the best resolution to a claim and then turn around and thank you for making the decision! I have really seen too many injustices to sit here and not speak out on this. How dare you have me write a review on something I paid for and never recieved. Nothing bad about Deadwood it is a wondeful show. Ebay on the otherhand really could have done something to protect the buyers in this situation, we couldn't even leave feedback. The listing was just GONE! I don't know whose desk this seller was under but he must have sucked a mean one.
